Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 26.4 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
medium
Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds
Only 9% of 50+ scores become hundreds (10 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
medium
Bowling
Tight but not threatening
Economy of 3.14 is excellent but a wicket every 41 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.44 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.14.
- ✓ Safe hands — 56 catches in 126 matches (0.44 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 43 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 53 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.35 for the level played (State competition 14 · Club 112). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 54 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 126 matches — 0.45 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 114 innings at 23.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 52 wickets in 54 matches bowled in (of 126 played) — 0.96 per match at 21.3, economy 3.14, strike rate 40.6.
